The Wall of Winnipeg and Me in Freaks Between the Book Sheets Romance Recs

Nov 20, 2023 Jen rated it really liked it

They’re weren’t lying when they said it was a ‘slow burn’.
…..

What didn’t work for me:

• My biggest issue was, the way the book was written the author had a tendency to build up to these hugely important scenes and then just CUT to days or even weeks later. Then the main character would back track and basically retell the story from her future perspective. It just gave me whiplash and took me out of the story. I would be anxiously turning pages and then to some sort of climax and then boom *two we ...more

👏 all 👏 the 👏 stars 👏

I loved this so much!!!

This was my second Mariana Zapata and it really cemented my love for her. Her slow burns aren’t for everyone (I’m talking no kissing until like 95% most of the time) but the character development and the tension between the characters is always top tier. She knows how to write a compelling 600 page slow burn romance, that’s for damn sure!

This is the marriage of convenience i compare all of marriage of convenience romances to. It’s excellent! Vanessa ...more

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me was my first Mariana Zapata book and wow did I not know what a slow burn was before. I didn’t even think the main characters were attracted to each other until about 70% in. Since it was so slow to start, it felt like the jump to HEA was made really fast.⁣

I really loved the characters and that was great because it feels like you’re reading a story about their lives instead of a romance at first.⁣

I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about this book, but after it ended I th ...more

Thank you @libro.fm for a copy of this book. I have heard so many great things about this book and have been wanting to read it. I have tried a few of her books and think her writing is not for me. I did enjoy this one but it feels like it drags on a long way to get to the HEA. The book is told in Vanessa's POV and the narration was great with the duet style whenever a male character speaks, Stephen Dexter voices it. I appreciate how dedicated Aiden is to the art of football and it translate to ...more

I thought I was prepared for the slow burn this time, but it was sooooo slow. Lol. Still a very enjoyable read and I enjoy getting to learn so much about the characters while waiting for the romance to start.

Via audiobook.

Sixteen hours! Sixteen hours of pure gold. I loved every minute of it!

I’ve read Kulti and I have to say that Mariana Zapata is the Queen of Slow Burn. 👑 I’m usually not a fan of slow burn but she hooks me from the beginning right till the end.

Now to find a hard copy for my library.
